Among many apparently.
My Kobo-touch internal SD crashed.
I thought I could fix this myself, so I've created an image from my girlfriend's touch, but..........

I found out they're different the hard way :-)

I've restored the image of a N905C (model 320) to an SD card and put that in the crashed touch. It starts restoring and I can see the books, reading stats etc.
It won't respond to any touches however. I figured a factory reset might solve this, but no such luck. It now hangs in the 'language selection' screen (still not responding to touch so I can't proceed).

Does anyone know if this could be a driver-issue that is fixed by applying the right image? If so: Could someone provide me with a correct image?

Second option (I hope not!) is that I somehow broke the touch-hardware when opening the reader.
If that's the case: Is there tooling available to test this?

Thanks for helping!
